>Federal governments ban production of civilian gasoline vehicles and slap a massive tax on the sale of gasoline>Electric vehicles are offered to citizens at a reduced price dependent on their annual income if they trade in their gasoline vehicles>Transportation infrastructure is greatly expanded to encourage travel by means other than a car>Power infrastructure also expanded>All fossil fuel energy production is converted to nuclearTo get shit like this done you'd need a powerful central government that can't be swayed by money-hungry lobbyist, widespread cooperation from citizens, and much higher taxes to fund all the projects. This isn't going to happen, particularly in nations like the USA that have a knee-jerk reaction to empowering the federal government. Seems like we are quite fucked. Too many weak governments filled with corruption and greed, too many people who would rather die than give up their diesel truck, and too much attention given to far less concerning issues.
